Positano is vertical town on the Amalfi Coast, where instead of roads visitors explore along steep flights of steps.

The magnificent views on the surrounding landscapes have earned their place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Mediterranean panoramas of coastal mountains plunging into the sea with picturesque towns and lush forests is what you see when you smell notes of lemon while exploring the region by enjoying the Amalfi drive.
The Amalfi Coast begins at Punta Campanella and continues along the south of the Sorrento peninsula to Vietri sul Mare.
Almost all the coastal towns are located along the SS163 (Amalfitana) highway, when begins in the hills of Piano di Sorrento and ends in Vietri sul Mare. The town of Amalfi is located about halfway along the highway, which was built between 1832 and 1850. Before that time, there were only rough mule tracks running between the villages, which today are used as breathtaking hiking trails (including the famed Path of the Gods).
